About this episode

Isaac Schade discusses the implications of the NCAA's new '5-in-5' eligibility model on UNC Basketball and the upcoming football season.

The NCAA’s new “5-in-5” eligibility model could fundamentally change how college basketball programs recruit, develop players and construct their rosters. What does the opportunity to play five full seasons mean specifically for Michael Malone and the North Carolina Tar Heels? Isaac Schade examines the potential benefits, complications and biggest roster-building questions facing UNC as college basketball enters a new era. Caleb Wilson followed his record-setting NBA Summer League debut with another opportunity to show what he can do for the Chicago Bulls—and former UNC head coach Hubert Davis was in attendance to watch his former star. Plus, ACC Kickoff arrives this week as North Carolina football prepares for the beginning of fall camp and the countdown to the new season officially begins.
